Co-existence of magnetism and ferroelectricity was theoretically predicted in the ordered double perovskite Bi2FeCrO6 [1]. We report epitaxial BFCO thin-films grown by pulsed laser deposition from a 20 % Bi-rich ceramic target on single crystal SrTiO3(100) substrates. The degree of the Fe-Cr cation ordering in the BFCO films was comparatively calculated based on the X-ray diffraction patterns. The magnetic moments of the BFCO films were measured with a SQUID magnetometer and analyzed as a function of the Fe-Cr ordering. We believe that the discrepancies in the previously reported values of the magnetic moment of BFCO are connected to the varying degree of Fe-Cr cation ordering [2,3]. Further motivation has been derived from a recent experiment that achieved more than 90 % spontaneous B-site ordering in a similar Fe-Cr based double perovskite system [4].
